Chapter 2311 2323 [Eavesdropping]
Conan was muttering to himself when suddenly, as if reading his inner thoughts, the taciturn elementary school student opposite whispered, "It seems that you have completely accepted your identity as an elementary school student?"
"...Of course not!" Conan realized it later and denied it hastily, "I just haven't seen you guys on the news for a while. Could it be that Anonymous has not taken any action recently?"
Jiang Xia: “…” Of course, there is only one person in the entire organization. It is very tiring to be on the move every day, and it also wastes murderous aura.
However, as a mature adult, there is no need to tell these inside stories to primary school students. Jiang Xia moved the cat puppet in his hand, making its mouth open and close, and said solemnly: "We are not afraid of the public's gaze, but we will not deliberately publicize it."
Conan understood: the Anonymous must have taken a lot of actions in the corners that he couldn't see, but without a detective present, many people with poor observation skills failed to find their traces, so their actions were never reported in the newspapers.
However, as one question was solved, a new one emerged.
Conan's eyes fell on the cute stuffed cat: "Come to think of it, I always see cats with this color scheme in Beika Town - is this your cat?"
The scarf kid opposite thought about it and nodded: "I have fed him."
"..." Conan suddenly felt that he understood: This cat should not be Xiaobai's - so what if he fed it before? He had fed it before, and so had Huiyuan Ai. If I remember correctly, cats with this color combination often came to Jiang Xia's house to eat and drink... So who is the real owner of this cat? It always feels like the timing of its appearance is always very coincidental.
Before the mini detective could come up with anything, his body suddenly tilted. Several classmates passed him and squeezed in front of Jiang Xia. The other members of the Junior Detective Team didn't know Anonymous that well. Compared with this distant organization, the disappearance of their classmates and the disappearance of the puppets in front of them were obviously more of a concern to the kids.
The three children asked in unison: "Did you see those classmates who disappeared?"
"Who gave you your doll?"
"How did you get here?"
"You guys..." Conan sighed, but said nothing: Although he couldn't help feeling a chill on the back of his neck every time he saw Anonymous, he had to admit that in such a difficult moment as tonight, the presence of these mysterious and powerful, and most importantly, rescue detective-loving guys undoubtedly made him feel a lot more at ease.
Conan: "..." Of course, it's not because he is afraid of a scenario where no one survives, but because this time the safety of too many children is involved, the burden is too heavy and requires a stronger shoulder to carry.
only……
Conan looked at Xiao Bai who was about the same height as him and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Are you the only one here?"
——Didn’t Miss Anonymous come with us? Anyway, they all wanted to hug someone powerful, and anyone would rather hug the powerful lady who jumped off the Shinkansen with a bomb and survived than a little brat who looked to have the same fighting power as him.
Jiang Xia glanced at him: "..." What, not satisfied? Then call Gin to you next time?
The other three children didn't know what they were talking about, so they continued the conversation according to their own understanding. Yoshida Ayumi asked Jiang Xia: "Where are the adults with you?"
Jiang Xia shook his head.
"That's bad..." Yoshida Ayumi's face turned pale, but she didn't forget to explain to the new friend, "We encountered a 'no survivors' incident! Everyone else disappeared, and now there are only a few of us."
Conan was about to say a few words to comfort them, but suddenly he heard a slight movement at the back door.
"There's someone there!" he said as he rushed over quickly.
Jiang Xia followed slowly, looked down at the ground, and saw several messy footprints.
"These footprints are so big!" Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, who followed closely, was shocked, "Could it be that there was more than one murderer who attacked those students?!"
Conan was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect there would be so many shoe prints: even if we remove the team leader, Mr. Kaibe, there are too many people who have been here, as many as five!
Moreover, the adult footprints he had just seen at the front door were different from those at the back door - in other words, there were at least 6 strange adults nearby!
"With so many people... we can't confront them head-on." Conan realized belatedly that he had been reckless, but soon he felt that something was a little strange. "But with such an obvious difference in strength, why don't they just take action? Instead, they keep hiding their heads and tails?"
Jiang Xia: “…” Because strictly speaking they are all your allies…except Vodka.
Just as he was thinking about it, Conan suddenly seemed to understand something and turned to look at him.
Jiang Xia: “?”
Conan approached stealthily and asked in a low voice expectantly, "Are they being held back by your people?"
Jiang Xia: “…”
How much you wish there were other Anonymous around.
While thinking, he ignored Conan's expectant gaze and shook his head coldly: Whoever the Anonymous sends is the one, no ordering is allowed.
The kids retreated back into the door for the time being. Suddenly, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya thought of something. This clever kid clapped his hands and said, "Oh, right! Have you heard about the recent B&B vandalism incident that was all the rage in the news?"
After he finished speaking, he cleared his throat and was about to explain, but he heard Yoshida Ayumi said in horror: "Are you saying that the person who kidnapped the classmates and Mr. Kaibu was the vandal of the guesthouse?"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: "..." Why are you watching the news? How can I show my knowledge like this?
He was slightly frustrated, but soon returned his attention to the main business: "It must be that criminal who took everyone away!"
Conan always felt something was wrong: "If it was really that criminal, why would he take away everyone's corresponding puppets instead of just arresting him?"
The more unknown the situation is, the more uneasy it will make people feel - if it was just an ordinary criminal, Conan would still think there was nothing to panic about, but now, all the sense of incongruity and the inexplicable appearance of the anonymous person made him break out in a cold sweat, and he decided to play it safe.
Thinking of this, he said decisively: "Anyway, let's call the police first."
Just when he was about to propose sending out the Junior Detective Team to catch the criminals and rescue the three children of his classmates: "..."
...Why is Conan so cowardly today?
Conan faced the silent gazes of the three naughty kids, first looked at his cell phone which had no signal, then walked to the table and picked up the phone.
However, he felt something was wrong before he even pressed the button. After he pressed the phone button, Conan's bad premonition reached its peak: "I can't get through. There's no sound at all - this phone has been destroyed!"
The other three kids: “!”
Vermouth, who just slipped in from the window: "!"
